Amazon Price Check

Amazon Price Check

No need to second guess a low-price guarantee with Amazon Price Check. This free app lets you hunt by product name to search its expansive database of brick and mortar stores and e-tailer prices. Less reliable, but very impressive, you can also find a product by scanning its barcode, snapping a picture of it, or even saying the name aloud into your phone. If you find a price that's lower than any listed in the app, you can share it with Amazon Price Check to improve its listings even more. While it doesn't offer coupon offerings like many similar price check apps out there, Amazon's excellent database and search capabilities left us impressed.

GeoQpons

GeoQpons

GeoQpons is the most robust coupon app we've seen to date. It takes full advantage of your phones’ capabilities, letting you search within the program's rich database of foods, products, and services by zip code or proximity. The app serves up daily deals from the likes of Groupon and Living Social, popular offers, and other discounts organizated by retailer, location, and category. And it’s extra satisfying to see all that money you're not spending show up on the program's built-in savings calculator tool.
